Smarter Balanced Field Test
Parent and Guardian Notification Letter Template
Dear Parent/Guardian:
This is an exciting time for everyone at Roosevelt Elementary School.
As you may already know, we, along with thousands of schools across California, are
participating in a field test of a modern assessment system designed to help shape
teaching and learning in the classroom. Known as the California Assessment of Student
Performance and Progress – or CAASPP – these computer-based tests replace the
STAR program.
These tests are aligned to the Common Core State Standards for English and math,
which California adopted in 2010 to describe what knowledge and skills students need
to be well prepared for college and careers, no matter where they come from or where
they live.
Part of the goal of the field test this year is to determine how well individual questions
allow students to demonstrate what they know and still need to learn. We are also
taking this opportunity to see how well our technical capabilities meet the demands of
computer-based assessments and to see what resources our teachers and school may
yet need.
Finally and importantly, this year also gives your student an opportunity to try out the
new system without consequences. All of this combined means that we will not be
capturing scores this year. Instead, we will use what we learn from this field test to help
ensure a successful full launch of the system in the 2014-15 school year.
Our next step in that transition is to administer the field test to students in 3rd – 5th
grades from April 7th – May 2nd. If you want to see what types of questions students
will be asked or how the test will be presented, there is a practice test available online at
http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/practicetest.asp.
If you would like more information, please visit the California Department of Education
Smarter Balanced Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/smarterfieldtest.asp. If
you have any questions regarding your child’s participation, please contact your child’s
teacher or the main office at Roosevelt School.
Sincerely,
Dr. Soraya Sablo Sutton
Interim Principal
Roosevelt Elementary

Please be sure your child gets a good night sleep

[email protected] Dear Parents and Families:
Reading is the most important skill you can teach a child. Of all the skills children learn, it is the one you can
influence the most.
We invite you to visit our Scholastic Book Fair and experience a celebration of reading that provides families
the opportunity to get involved in a universal mission: encouraging kids to read every day so they can lead
better lives.
Our Scholastic Book Fair theme - Book Fair Fiesta: ¡Yo Quiero Libros! ¡Vamos a Leer! (I Want Books!
Let's Go Read!) –surrounds students in the celebration of reading with hundreds of fun, engaging,
affordable books for them to discover. Giving kids access to good books and the opportunity to choose their
own books will motivate them to read more. And like most acquired skills, the more kids practice reading, the
better they’ll get.
Reading is vital to every child’s success, and raising kids as readers means getting involved while they’re
young. Now is the time. Since there will never be a substitute for a parent’s direct involvement in his/her
child’s education, please make plans to visit our Book Fair. Hope to see you there!
Book Fair Dates:
Shopping Hours:
Special Events:
Monday, April 7 – Thursday April 10, 2014

Estimados padres y familiares:
Leer es la destreza más importante que uno le puede enseñar a un niño. De todas las destrezas
que los niños pueden aprender, esta es la que los padres más pueden ayudar a desarrollar.
Los invitamos a visitar nuestra Feria del Libro de Scholastic y disfrutar de una celebración de la
lectura que ofrece a las familias la oportunidad de participar en una misión universal: animar a los
niños a leer todos los días para que tengan una vida mejor.
Nuestra feria, Fiesta de la Feria del Libro: ¡Yo quiero libros! ¡Vamos a leer!, lleva a los
estudiantes una verdadera celebración de la lectura con cientos de libros divertidos, atractivos y a
precios razonables que ellos podrán descubrir. Brindarles a los niños el acceso a buenos libros y
la oportunidad de escoger aquellos que ellos desean leer, los motivará a leer más. Y como todas
las habilidades adquiridas, mientras más practiquen la lectura, mejor leerán los niños.
Leer es vital para el éxito de cada niño, y educar buenos lectores requiere que los padres estén
involucrados en la educación de sus hijos desde que son pequeños. Este es el momento de
hacerlo. No hay nada que pueda sustituir el papel de los padres. Por favor, no se pierda nuestra
Feria del Libro. ¡Esperamos verlos!
Fechas de la Feria del Libro:
